Removing the "I" from the Equation

Today was a good day, I think. Even though, I hardly got anything done in the morning, the second part of the day was pretty good. I was feeling so alone cooped up in my apartment, so I called up my friend, Jessica, and asked if she wanted to meet for coffee. She was lounging around too, so we met up and went to the Coffee House and enjoyed a great chat over coffee. Friends are gifts from God. It’s wonderful to be among friends in the presence of whom you can be totally yourself. This is exactly what Jessica is to me: a genuine friend. So we talked, laughed, and drank lots of coffee, needing to use the bathroom often. Of course, we laughed about that too. After that Jessica gave me a ride to Great Clips as my hair had grown to an unprecedented length. The stylist remembered me, and she did a good job, too! Jessica thinks so J I do too, in fact.

After coming back to my apartment I got a ton of work done. I planned out what my students have to do for the week and emailed them, I emailed my Online Teaching Report to Joyce, AND I wrote my 2000 words. I also spent twelve minutes on the cycling machine. I still have to meditate, though, but I can do that after I finish writing this. Over a hundred people read my blog every day, so I will not stop writing this.  

I think I will have some green tea with honey and lemon tonight. It calms me a lot. I will have the tea ready, so I can drink right after I meditate. Balance was bad today, but what of that!! It’s nothing I didn’t know. I mean, I knew my health was degenerative. If I can keep writing, I will be ok.

Something Jessica told me really motivated me. She told me how this older lady was coming into Stevenson in a wheelchair and how a young guy went up to her and asked her something, and soon after, he was pushing her wheelchair. What a beautiful story. This is how I want to be. Of course, the chances are that I will be the one in the wheelchair. But you know what I mean. The world will be so much better if we can remove the “I” from the equation, sometimes.
